Papa Joe's Pizza Lake Mary – Colonial TownPark & Lake Mary Boulevard

Growing up we always looked for to Friday night, it was special… It was Pizza Night! We had our favorite place, a family run pizza joint, every week it was two large pies and all the soda you could drink. We have our own tradition here, we’ve been eating at Papa Joe’s for over 20 years – at their original location is in Altamonte Springs and now at the two in Lake Mary. You can dine it, pick up or if you are lucky enough to live within the immediate vicinity, they offer delivery too.

The two Lake Mary Papa Joe’s locations have dining inside and out on the covered patio. A full menu with the best garlic knots I’ve ever had, chunks of sweet garlic swimming in olive oil and parmesan cheese. If you are looking for something other than pizza the lasagna is meaty and moist with a great crisp cheese top and the Eggplant Parmesan is my personal favorite.

The traditional Italian pizza has a tasty crust with a homemade sauce, real cheese and just about any topping you desire. I’m originally a west coast girl, so much to the dismay of my husband, I love ham and pineapple, but we most often opt for a classic pepperoni and reminisce about those Friday nights growing up.
